Dine-in and Take-out
118 – 4061 200th St.
Langley, BC

604-534-2200
Thai food is comfort food for me.  I love curling up on a stormy night with warm, spicy Thai take-out and a great glass of white wine (my fave being the Sovereign Opal Artist Series Reserve from Calona Vineyards, because it reminds me of an amazing trip I took to [...]

Naturally Beautiful

Tuscan Farm Gardens
22317 64th Ave.
Langley, BC
http://www.tuscanfarmgardens.com/
*ONLY OPEN MAY – SEPTEMBER*
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I love bath and beauty products!  There’s just something fun and girly about buying new bubble bath, lotion or lipgloss.  It makes me happy. 
Now normally, I’m a fan of sweet things – things that smell like pudding – but [...]

Set back from the main street in Fort Langley, inside a charming little clapboard cottage, you’ll find one of the sweetest treats this side of the Port Mann Bridge - The Ruby Slippers Specialty Co.   Their specialty, you ask?  Chocolate slippers!  Lovely, creamy, velvety, Belgian chocolate slippers, wrapped in colourful foil [...]

Zig Zag Boutique

Zig Zag Boutique
15355 – 24th Ave (Peninsula Village)

Out and about running errands yesterday, I came across a great little shop in South Surrey’s Peninsula Village.  Zig Zag Boutique is an unassuming store that I would have walked right past, had it not been for the fantastic bright orange Nine West bag calling my [...]

I Heart In the Pink Boutique

In the Pink Boutique
#103 – 14012 32nd Ave
South Surrey, BC
http://www.inthepinkboutique.ca/index.html
I nearly cried when I walked through the doors of In the PInk Boutique this week.  Not because I tripped or stubbed my toe (which is a common occurrence for me), but because I realized I had left my credit card at home and I wanted [...]

Restaurant 62
2001 McCallum Rd (Gateway Bldg)
Abbotsford, BC
http://www.restaurant62.ca/
My boyfriend recently celebrated his 29th birthday, so we once again found ourselves looking for a new restaurant to try.  We wanted something intimate and cozy, with a great wine list and superior quality food…but we didn’t want to go very far from home.  Fortunately, we found everything we were looking for in Restaurant 62.
I admit, I was skeptical at [...]

Calling All Brides-to-be

Ivory Bridal Boutique
109 – 21059 88 Ave
Langley, British Columbia
http://www.ivorybridal.ca/
I’ve been wedding dress shopping with more than one girlfriend over the years and let me tell you, it hasn’t always been pretty.  There are so many styles to choose from and it’s a really important decision.  Those pictures are going down in history and nobody wants to be the [...]
